Definitely don't get a sense of Stevie shouting at Lindsey. But on the Chain and Go Your Own Way, oh yeah, Stevie's yelling right back at him. And even the Chain seems less about their relationship than it is about the whole band's relationship.
Dreams seems passive aggressive. I Dont Wanna Know sounds desperate, even when it see,s optimistic in parts the way in which it is performed screams heartbreak and acrimony. Lyrically, of LB's stuff is pretty angry, even when it's pretty. But hey, we all read differently.
